Starbucks Cappuccino & Lattes
Starbucks has a large assortment of goodies and beverages that are low in calories however, many aren't - so know before you go. View Starbucks Calories.
Fudge Calories
According to the USDA, one square of fudge without nuts contains about 70 calories and 1.77 grams of total fat. If nuts are added - calories will naturally increase.

However, nuts do add a nutritional value to the non-nutritional fudge recipe AND opting for fudge prepared with dark chocolate will too.
Gargantuan Candy Apples
While candy apples begin with a typical large apple containing 116 calories, they can become a Diet Killer Shot-put when dipped in the dips of 1,000 dips - caramel, milk chocolate, marshmallow, dark chocolate, white chocolate - then dipped again....and again....and again.
Those tiny candy apples found at the local market during Halloween and autumn are dipped once in a bath of caramel and contain about 160 calories. Multiply this number by 10 or more for an idea of the calories contained in the gargantuan candy apple.
Pizza, Cheeseburgers, Cookies at the Mall
As to the pizza parlors, cheeseburger joints and cookie stands - never feel too timid to request a nutritional guide.
If one is unavailable, trust your Diet Instincts. Green is generally a very Diet Friendly color - the kind found in salads and many vegetables. Opt for food that does not come pre-assembled to your table so you can put it together yourself - leaving out the more fatty, high calorie items.
And although it's important to watch your diet, particularly during the holidays - do take time to include a holiday treat in your diet every now and then. Soon, Bing's wonderful velvet voice will once again be in our distant past.....
